[nfbcs] first programs?

[Mike Freeman]

Yup; the first instruction on an 1130 FORTRAN program began at memory
address 0x01e0 which one entered into the Address Register using the entry
switches.

Hello:

     I think my first program was a program to multiply two numbers. It was
on an IBM 1130 in machine language. I think the 1130 did have a hardware
multiply, but we did it the hard way. We not only wrote the program, we had
to enter it into the 1130 using the switch panel. The 1130 had a switch
panel somewhat like the DEC PDP8.

     My first program on a micro computer was to test software multiply and
divide routines. It was written in assembly language and ran on an Intel
8085.

Regards,

Robert
